The topic revolves around the thinking and the methods of the Wurangama. Gradually following the different stages, the researcher reveals the Dharmaparyaya, or the doctrines of liberation; and explains the proceedings, the actions, the content, and the methods for the way of liberation of the Wurangama. In order to understand the features of this sutra in Buddhism teachings, the researcher studied further the results, some quintessential discourses (sutra) of Buddha—The Four Sections of the Agamas Sutra, the Avatamsaka-Sutra (or the Hua-Yen Jing), the Saddharma-Pundarika-Sutra, and the Sukhavati (The Pure Land)—the comparison between The Ch’an, significant in Chinese Buddhism, and the Sutra of the Six Patriarchs of the Intuitional (or of the Meditation Sect). This paper is divided into six chapters. The first chapter explains the rationale, goals, research method, recent academic studies, in-depth discussion of relevant literature, and the organization of this research. In the second chapter, the researcher analyzes the meaning of “liberation” and probes into the cultivation of the ways of liberation for The Four Sections of the Agamas Sutra, the Avatamsaka-Sutra, the Saddharma-Pundarika-Sutra, the Sukhavati, and other various discourses of Buddha. From the third through the fifth chapters, the researcher focuses the doctrine of liberation of the Wurangama Sutra. The third chapter investigates the basic principles and concepts of the Wurangama Sutra; including the analysis of the true (bhūtatathatā) and false (amalavijñāna) minds, and the content and function of fifty different other path/practices one can stray into. The fourth chapter discusses the basics before the practice of the way of liberation of the Wurangama Sutra; they are divided into the five forbidden pungent roots, keeping the commandments (or rules), establishing the environment for cultivation of the religion, maintaining the mantra, and the auxiliary means for before practicing the universality (omnipotence) doctrines of the śrotrendriya. Here we investigate the errors of the five forbidden pungent roots, their recordings in discourses, and other names for them. As for the maintaining of the commandments, the researcher explains the obstacles resulting from the failure of commitment; mainly using the four directions mentioned in this discourse—killing, robbing, fornicating, and lying—the researcher explains the retribution. An explanation for the decoration, methods, and procedures of the monastery follows. The Wurangama Sutra holds that keeping the commandments can help those who practice eliminate obstacles during the course of cultivation. Here we focus on the good we receive from maintaining the mantra, discuss and explain Buddhists’ attitudes toward the mantra. The fifth chapter takes us into the method for the way of liberation for the Wurangama Sutra, the universality (omnipotence) doctrines of the śrotrendriya. We explore its whys and wherefores and the twenty-five different perfect penetration samadhis to reach through enlightment. In the sixth and final chapter, we make retrospections of this research, make comparisons among this discourse and others; in order to further understand the aspects and goals of the Wurangama Sutra. In the end, the researcher provides some suggestions for future studies and developments of the Wurangama Sutra. |
